Describe the place you are at right nowI'm sitting on my small terrace right now, with a great view of the mountains at my new apartment.

How do you find inspiration in your daily life?I draw a lot of inspiration from movies, particularly movies that combine seemingly disparate themes, such as beauty and weirdness. Similarly, I find weird folk music (freak folk) really interesting, as it uses bits and pieces of different genres and unusual sounds to create something new and exciting. Also Ambient is my all time favourite type of music.

Tell us about one of your projects'After the wind' is my first project, and it's also a endless project. I got the idea when I listened to the record of Ben Woods. I am mostly inspired by my natural surroundings, such as the patterns of a flower, the shape of the trees after a strong wind, thick clouds in the sky before a storm, the rain hitting the ground, the sun and the way its rays shine on my hand and when the palm of my hand becomes transparent, I am touched by these subtle things. and this project tells about it.

What’s your view of the future?I couldn't say any view of the future. I prefer to live in the moment. But I’d like to travel more and work on more projects I’m interested in.

What’s the best thing about your work?Light is magical.

What is the best hour of the day and what do you do at that hour?I especially like taking pictures in the sunny afternoon.

What is your best advice?Forget the rule, take pictures immediately when you got a new idea. I want to advice myself this as well.
